Editorial Reviews

Murdock (sociology, Texas A&M U.) examines the socioeconomic implications of three major patterns in recent population projections by the US Census Bureau in realms such as the labor force, income and poverty, households, business, public and private services, and fiscal conditions. The trends are slower population growth and the increasing role of immigration, the aging of the population, and the increasing ethnic diversity. Paper edition (unseen), $17.95. Annotation c.
